In all Battle Royales, skill plays a vital role in your victory. And Apex Legends, with its dynamic gameplay, is no exception. In addition, thanks to the features of the engine, players have discovered a trick that allows them to control the character even more effectively. Therefore, next, we will tell you how to Tap Strafe in Apex Legends.
By using Tap Strafe, players can control their movement while jumping without losing momentum. You will need a lot of training to learn this trick. But it's definitely worth all your effort.
How to Tap Strafe in Apex Legends
So, before you start practicing Tap Strafe in Apex Legends, you will need to change a few things in the settings. More specifically, you should open the control settings and assign the forward mouse wheel scroll to Key 2 for forward movement. You can also assign the mouse wheel to scroll backward for the jump. This is not required but may come in handy during training.
Now that the preparations are done, you can start trying to Tap Strafe in Apex Legends. To do this, you need to perform several steps in a specific order:
- First, perform a slide jump. Players can do this by pressing shift, control, and then space. This way, you slide and then jump out with more momentum.
- While in the air, you must release the W key and press the strafe keys. A is used for turning left, and D is for turning right.
- Your next step is to hold down the strafe key and quickly scroll the mouse wheel forward. At this stage, you will notice how your movements will become sharper.
- Finally, still hold the strafe key and scroll the mouse wheel forward; move the mouse in the direction you want to turn.
It will take you some time to get used to the order of all these steps. For convenience, you can use the mouse wheel to scroll backward to perform a slide jump. Note that it is very important to release the W key after the slide jump. This is due to a feature of the Apex Legends engine, which speeds up the character's movement slightly when starting to move forward. Therefore, you will have to use the mouse wheel for this.
That's all you need to know about how to Tap Strafe in Apex Legends. This trick will help you win many matches. We recommend learning it as soon as possible.
